III. STATEMENT OF REGULATION A. Selection Committees: Employees should avoid situations where they may influence the decision to hire a relative at the University. A conflict of interest would exist, for example, if employees serve on a selection committee or in a decision-making chain where a relative has applied for employment. In such a scenario, employees should disclose their familial status to the chair of the selection committee or the Vice President for Human Resources prior to the candidate’s interview and recuse themselves from any deliberations regarding their family member.

B. Supervision: Employees are not permitted to supervise relatives as a conflict of interest may exist in situations such as assigning duties, determining pay, conducting performance appraisals or other supervisor-employee scenarios.
